Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Sarcasm Failure is, to put it simply, when a character who you'd expect would be able to deliver an irreverent, sarcastic or deadpan comment on just about anything fails to do so because of the nature of the current situation. This trope can be Played for Drama—if the writers want to show that a situation is particularly dire, having the funny guy go completely serious is one way of showing that—or Played for Laughs, by having the character encounter a situation so completely, utterly and patently absurd that he or she is rendered temporarily incapable of responding coherently. (Basically their Snark short-circuits.) |
